i wonder how gun gale is going to be a season when the plot takes place over 3 days.. Mother Rosario will probably play out in season 2, like ALO took place in season one after SAO

The over-rated show 24 took place over 1 day and they made 24 episodes out of it.

SAO was based on 2 books, ALO was based on 2 books, GGO also has 2 books and side stories for material. Mother's rosary has one book, but in my opinion is the best of the series so far, and it revolves around asuna only.

So if they really wanted to, I can see at least 36 more episodes worth of material, with mothers rosary being a 3-4 part OVA.

What I would really like to see is a long-term anime for SAO Progressive, Reki Kawahara's new floor by floor account of SAO.

Well if you ask me it would have been superb if they ended it after episode 14 when Kirito woke up. Instead they started on alfheim. It wasnt bad, but i didnt like how they ended it with the most boring arc. I think now it would be best if they continued they anime through all the books, or at least untill they find a good way to end it.

I thought it was a typo at first, but it's happening consistently enough to make it seem like a legitimate belief, so I'll correct it. The abbreviation is SAO, not SOA -- "Sword Online Art" just sounds retarded.

As for the question, If you're asking whether A-1 pictures (or some other studio) should shell out their money for the third arc rather than a continuation of some other series or possibly a new series, I'd say that I'd prefer it not animated. SAO was a pretty fun ride, but in all honesty, there are many better shows. Even if they animate a new show, even if it turns out to be not as enjoyable as the third arc may have been, at least we get a new story and some new characters to hang out with. And although A-1 pictures hasn't made anything spectacular (that I've seen), I will say that all of their shows are at least decent, most of them are slightly above par, and some have turned out to be really really enjoyable (SPACE BROTHERS!!!!). If A-1 animates something besides "SAO," then even if it turns out just average, at least I'll have taken in a new story, and met some new characters. I feel as though SAO has pretty much explored as much of the main characters as they can, and although a new story would be nice, I don't think it would add much to the characters. I could be wrong, obviously, but those are my thoughts atm.

If there is a third season, hopefully they will actually animate it and rely less on still shots. The only thing remotely well animated was the end to episode 13, and then as soon as 14 started they trashed it anyway. The sound and visuals may have been good, but that doesn't mean the animation was. I didn't mind the pacing so much but it was inconsistent and many things were poorly dramatized. I found myself watching because I liked the universe and wanted to see conclusions but instead was just thrown carrots on a stick constantly. I guess you could say I found the premise for the show to have so much potential but the execution was really just awful. While there was some emotional 'impact' I didn't really *care* about what was going on most of the time.

i think they should maybe do a reboot. Like full metal alchemist. But this time they do 50 ep of SAO, and 50 ep of ALO. Because my only problem with the series, is they never reached the top of the tower in SAO. And i would of liked to see a whole lot more of ALO
